The 8th Annual Thunder Bay Mining Day was held on Saturday, June 17, 2023 at Marina Park in Thunder Bay! It was hosted and organized by volunteers from a variety of local associations who are involved in the mining, exploration and the related supply and service industries in northwestern Ontario. It serves to raise awareness of the importance of these industries in our local economy and in our everyday lives. In the seven years since it was first organized, this event has grown in popularity, attracting 400 people in its first year and over 2000 this year.
The Northwestern Ontario Prospectors Association (NWOPA), in conjunction with the local branch of Women in Mining, once again hosted this high-energy event, which included a wide variety of exciting demonstrations, interactive activities and mining/exploration exhibits. Partners from industry, government and academia work together to ensure the success of this public education event.
The 9th Annual Mining Day will be held June 15, 2024.
